Alumni Referral Scholarship
This scholarship was established to offer alumni
the opportunity to do two good deeds at once: help a deserving student achieve
their higher education goals and assist in recruiting an exciting incoming
class! The Alumni Referral Scholarship
is a grant of $1,000 renewable for four years as long as the student maintains full-time
status and satisfactory academic progress. Alumni can help a student save as
much as $4,000 during the course of his/her studies at Medaille.
To apply for this scholarship, all prospective
freshmen or transfer students must be
nominated by a Medaille College alumnus. To be nominated, an alumnus must complete the
alumni referral application on behalf of the desired prospective freshmen or
transfer student. An important part of
this application is the letter of recommendation from the referring alumnus
stating why they are referring the student.
An application that does not include a letter of
recommendation from the referring alumnus will not be considered complete and will
not be reviewed. Any prospective freshman or transfer student may
be nominated at any point during the admissions process; however, the completed application must be
received by the posted deadline (listed below). Students must be
attending the Buffalo Campus and must enroll in full-time undergraduate
studies. A student can receive one
Alumni Referral Scholarship to pursue his/her degree.
Each alumnus may only refer one
student per academic year. Alumni must complete the Alumni Referral Scholarship Form by the associated deadline:
- Fall Freshmen – February 1st
- Fall Transfer Students - July 1st
- Spring Transfer Students - November 1st
The Alumni Admissions Coordinator will review all nominations that meet the above criteria and will contact all students receiving the scholarship. For any questions regarding the Alumni Referral Scholarship Form, please contact:
